How to get last inserted row ID from WordPress database?

Question

My WordPress plugin has a table with a AUTO_INCREMENT primary key field called ID. When a new row is inserted into the table, I\'d like to get the ID value

Answer 1

I needed to get the last id way after inserting it, so

$lastid = $wpdb->insert_id;

Was not an option.

Did the follow:

global $wpdb;
$id = $wpdb->get_var( 'SELECT id FROM ' . $wpdb->prefix . 'table' . ' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1');
